My article 'Care without heart: kinship, chronic illness, and the emotion of care in Delhi" is finally published. In it, I explore emotional terrains of kin care and its limits, and how they are entwined with chronicity and temporality of chronic illness

I've been on maternity leave, in a happy place, to care for my second child born in Jan. Not gonna be very active here or academia for a while.

[Dr. Emilija Zabiliūtė @EmilijaZab]

@hanskundnani it's just an assumption, and it's not in Landsbergis' quote. For many E. Europeans, a return to Europe meant living in an independent democratic country without iron curtain. The return here is in the past tense because it happened. It is not an ideological longing for pre 1945

[Dr. Emilija Zabiliūtė @EmilijaZab]

This is such a misinformed post that simplifies and essentialises Eastern Europeans for the sake of juxtapoing us to the supposedly "more progressive" Western Europeans. The same logic accuses all Ukrainians of being neonazis.

[Hans Kundnani @hanskundnani]

Western Europeans think that they made a break with European history after 1945 and came up with a new idea of Europe. But central and Eastern Europeans believe that, after the end of the Cold War, they were “returning” to some pre-1945 idea of Europe.

Definitely a return to white pre-1945 Europe doesn't figure in @GLandsbergis post. It doesn't figure in his politics either (not sure whether it did in the quoted debate). The sentiment exists among some far- right E. Europe, just like in W Europe (AFD, Le Penn, Meloni, etc.)

With the ever-shrinking NHS, these are the adds you getin the UK. No GP appointments for health conditions is being sold as a good thing. The irony is lost. And it's women's health of course.

Last day of semester and teaching.

[Dr. Emilija Zabiliūtė @EmilijaZab]

Eastern block academia, this is how I can describe my style now. Just a pity we don't have that much mid-century furniture at the universities these days for those final touch-ups.

Another preach in the wake of global rise of pronatalism. This one in the context of an imperialist war
